This is a short stop motion video from IBM that they created using SINGLE ATOMS as individual pixels. Do you know how small an atom is? No? Well imagine a bouncy ball. Now imagine a SUPER F***ING TEENY bouncy ball. That's how small an atom is provided you imagined a bouncy... / Continue →

This is a short video of a Swiss Airbus A340 landing at the Zurich airport in heavy fog. Which, as far as fog goes, is probably airplane pilots' least favorite kind. Me? It's my favorite because it makes sneaking around the neighborhood playing ninja assassin easier. Thanks... / Continue →

This is a video of Youtuber SmarterEveryDay explaining Prince Rupert's Drops. Prince Rupert's Drops are made by drizzling molten glass into water so it forms a little spermy -- a sperm with an ultra-tough head, but with a delicate tail that will cause the whole thing to explo... / Continue →

Note: The entire graphic is super long (but nowhere near as long as you, stud), so I posted it after the jump to not make the homepage a mile long. This is an infographic/timeline of famed thinker Stephen Hawking's life. Fun fact: he was regarded as a good student -- but not ... / Continue →

Scientists at CERN have confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson, the elusive particle believed to be responsible for giving mass and shape to all objects in the universe. The announcement comes after studying the data from last year's potentially earth-destroying tests usin... / Continue →

This is the faux academic paper written by Redditor bogus_wheel's boyfriend and used to propose to her. The best part? It has a 'Please check one, YES or NO' part for her to give her response. You remember passing those kinds of notes to the girls you liked in school? I alw... / Continue →

This is a worthwhile video of a red-hot ball of nickel quickly melting its way through a block of ice from the same guy who brought us the red-hot nickel in a cup of water video. The sound effects aren't as rad (but are still pretty cool) in this one, but it's awesome to watch... / Continue →

This is a short video of Neil DeGrasse Tyson cutting a rug at some party to Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough'. He's a surprisingly good dancer. Don't get me wrong, I'd still destroy him in a dance-off, but it wouldn't be my easiest win (and may require a pock... / Continue →

This is a video of a physics professor at Stony Brook University doing his thing, you know, talking about the motion of the ocean or whatever (actually, chain reactions), when he notices a student sleeping in the front row (worst place to sleep btw). So what does he do? He go... / Continue →

This is the conceptual Air Umbrella from designer Je Sung Park. The idea is that it will blow a canopy of air above the holder that repels rain. Except that will never happen. Now I'm not saying somebody needs to brush up on their physics, but that little air-shield is gonna... / Continue →
